Q: Some of my iTunes match songs are greyed out on my iPhone
Hello,
I've had iTunes match since it came out, and it was shaky at first, but started getting pretty reliable a few months ago. However, the last few albums I've added to iTunes match have not been added to the cloud. The songs appeared as "Waiting" for several days until I right clicked and clicked add to iCloud. Once I did that, they showed up on my iPhone and iPad, but now are greyed out on both, even though their iCloud status says "Uploaded".
It gets worse. The last album I dragged into iTunes is stuck on "Waiting". When I right click, I no longer have the ability to add them to iCloud (this may be due to the Yosemite beta – the issue with the greyed out songs has been occurring for a few weeks before I upgraded, though). These songs don't appear on my iPad or iPhone (which I expect), but they do appear on my MacBook. However, when I click to play or download them, nothing happens.
This is very strange behavior, one thing worth noting is, I just crossed 1,000 songs for this artist (I'm a fanatic). I'm not sure if there's a limit of songs per artist, and I haven't counted exactly how many songs are greyed out, but the numbers are definitely close.
iTunes Match, iOS 7.1.2
